@dawn16 Hey! Thanks for the resistance band suggestion! I picked up a cheap one and use it nearly every day, generally feel like ive worked pretty hard afterwards and its great for core exercises which will hopefully sort my back pain out. Its way easier to motivate myself to use it compared to...

@dawn16 Cheers for the input! I have definitely tried (sorry Yoda!) to create a habit of exercising, bodyweight core workouts, pushups and regular stretching while travelling. I struggle to maintain this for any useful period of time though. A few days here and there when there's a burst of...

Backstory: I have been travelling for 7 months. I haven't been able to attend a gym in that time as I am moving around so often. Before I travelled, I had been going to the gym 0-4x per week for like 20-30 minutes for over two years. I had a back injury a few years ago and this regular yet easy...
